Detailed explanation-1: -ABOMASUM: The final compartment of the stomach is the abomasum. This compartment is similar to our stomachs and has a low pH and enzymes to digest the proteins in the feed.

Detailed explanation-2: -The abomasum is also referred to as the true stomach. It has a similar function to stomachs of other animals, like humans. It has a low pH – an acidic environment that kills the bacteria that pass from the rumen. The abomasum is where the digestion of microbial and dietary proteins begins.

Detailed explanation-3: -The true stomach in the cow is abomasum and is the fourth chamber. It has glands, secreting acids and enzymes for digestion. It functions similarly to the carnivore stomach as it is glandular and digests food chemically, rather than fermentation like the other 3 chambers of the ruminant stomach.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ruminant stomach has four compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. The abomasum is the true stomach where the cow’s own enzymes and acids break down the ingested feed.
